Default Marking sheetmetal


"Michael Horowitz" wrote in message
...
I want to mark sheetmetal for bending.
Can't use a scribe because I'll weaken the metal.
Magic Marker is too thick.
Pencil doesn't show.
What do you use? - Mike


Pencil is also not to be used because the graphite will combine chemically
with some types of sheet metal, and make it weak on the line. I don't
recall for sure which type, but I think aluminum.
